The graph above, from the Dutch report, shows clearly how relentless
overall emissions growth in countries climbing out of poverty (as electrification, manufacturing and mobility expand fossil fuel demand) was not blunted by the recession and is sending them and the rich world (which is getting ever more efficient and exporting manufacturing) toward some kind of carbon common ground.

Terrell Johnson, reporting on a recent NASA publication concluding that deep ocean temperatures have not increased since 2005 (http://www.weather.com/science/environment/news/deep-ocean-hasnt-warmed-nasa-20141007): «While the report's authors say the findings do not question the
overall science of climate change, it is the latest in a series of findings that show global warming to have slowed considerably during the 21st century, despite continued rapid
growth in human - produced greenhouse gas
emissions during the same time.»

-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2
emissions — humans have been responsible for «most» of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in
overall picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is
growth of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China
growth will make per capita CO2
emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.
Because it is the least carbon ‐ intensive fossil fuel, natural gas use has helped to reduce
overall CO2
emissions growth.
However, because natural gas produces more energy for the same amount of
emissions as coal,
growth in natural gas consumption contributed to the
overall 2016 decline in total
emissions.

growth, energy - related CO2
emissions are expected to plateau around 2030, despite a steady rise in
overall energy demand.
The observations of figure 17 - F dispel the myth that all the increase of the CO2 of the air is from anthropic origin; the anthropic
emissions remaining in the air for a 5 years life time have surged since 2003 while the
overall the CO2
growth rate has been slowly decreasing!
There are two primary externalities that result from our
emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — 1) an enhancement of the greenhouse effect, which results in an alteration of the energy flow in the earth's climate and a general tendency to warm the global average surface temperature, and 2) an enhancement of the rate of photosynthesis in plants and a general tendency to result in more efficient
growth and an
overall healthier condition of vegetation (including crops).
Between 1990 and 2016, the increase in CO2
emissions corresponded with increased energy use by an expanding economy and population, an
